Seeing You Unhappy Makes Me Happy

Hearing Machi's words, Luo Ye realized he had fallen into a misconception. With or without Illumi, they would eventually cross paths with Chrollo.

After all, both Feitan and Machi were members of the Phantom Troupe in the original story.

Only he, who had transmigrated here, was the sole exception. He wondered how Feitan and Machi would treat him, their former companion, after joining the Phantom Troupe.

Feitan had promised to be his lifelong sugar daddy. He definitely would not abandon him just because of Chrollo!

But even so, with Chrollo's shrewdness, he still needed to make plans for himself as soon as possible.

With that thought, Luo Ye made an immediate decision. "Illumi, welcome to the team."

Since crossing paths with Chrollo was unavoidable, one more companion meant one more chance of winning.

Though he did not know whether they would end up fighting Chrollo, they still needed to take precautions.

Illumi was speechless. "I remember you saying just now that you didn't want me to bring you trouble."

But now that he knew trouble would come even without him, he immediately agreed to let him join.

What, was he just some tool for warding off disasters? Did he not have any personal wishes of his own?

"The situation has changed," Luo Ye said with a fawning grin. "You're a magnanimous person, so don't stoop to my level, okay?"

The Illumi in the original story had never joined any organization, and his personality had only one defining trait: profit came first. Luo Ye would never believe Illumi had no ulterior motive for joining their team!

Feitan felt a burst of irritation at Yezi's smile. "Yezi, ignore him! If he doesn't want to join, then don't let him! Even if he wants in, I don't want him!"

What kind of trash was this? Did he think the world would stop turning without him? Did everyone have to revolve around him?

He could not stand Illumi's arrogant attitude. Wasn't he just a Chrollo? He refused to believe the three of them together could not beat him!

Luo Ye's eye twitched. Why was it that whenever he wanted to make progress, someone always wanted to drag him down?

Illumi was already angry that he had gone back on his word, and now Feitan was being so sarcastic. What if Illumi really left later?

Yet Illumi's reaction was beyond Luo Ye's expectations. He looked thoughtfully at Feitan. "You don't want me to join? Then I'll join."

He was being contrarian just for the sake of it.

Luo Ye: "???" Illumi actually fell for provocation? Then again, he was still a child. It was normal for him to fall for something like that.

Feitan's brows twisted into a deep frown. "What, are you sick?"

Illumi immediately retorted, "I'm not sick. But seeing you angry makes me happy."

He had been very unhappy about Yezi's rejection, but seeing that Feitan seemed even more upset about him joining meant that he definitely had to join!

Didn't Yezi have a saying? Seeing you unhappy makes me happy. Happiness built on someone else's pain was even happier.

Feitan: "..."

Where had this lunatic come from? Did Yezi really want to invite a lunatic like this to be their teammate?

In the end, Illumi still joined their team. Luo Ye began assigning rooms. "There wasn't anything valuable left in the previous house anyway. We'll just stay here."

They carried all their necessities with them. Otherwise, given the conditions in Meteor City, ownerless belongings would be snatched away in no time.

Illumi looked at Feitan, then turned to Luo Ye. "I want to stay next door to you."

Feitan immediately shot him a murderous glare. He had not even said he wanted to stay next door to Yezi. What gave Illumi the right?
